what is my problem?!!!

It has been my experience that sanding supplies are like people they really don't die they just pass onto another plain of existance finding a use some place else in another life.
 
Mike,
I disagree. I think you would be able to teach a lot. (I, of course would be bored out of my skull by such common info ;)) I believe the fit and finish on your handles to be some of the best out there. I've said so and I'm not the only one out there! (I know you wouldn't take my word for it thinking that I was trying to trick you. Like the time I said that............I guess I don't need to broadcast your secrets ;))
Anyway, I believe there are a lot of people that can learn something from what you are doing and how you are doing it. I hope you can make one of the future gatherings.
 
What do you want, Bob.

P.S. Just for your own reference, they do make sand paper finer than 60 grit. Just thought you might like to know.

Michael

Yeah, like vertical blinds! One thing about using wornout belts for hand sanding, one old wornout belt will go a long way... You still end up throwing piles of em away. And oh, that hurts!
 
And guess what else? How about when the belt snaps and slaps you in the belly and leaves a bruise and scares the stuffin' out of ya? I threw away every used belt I had held onto and I am going to be alot smarter at ordering and using...and discarding belts now. I got real nervous in "How To Make Knives" with Loveless and Barney and they go into making an order of belts that should cost $200 aproximately....in 1972 dollars! Ouch! No I would like to move into the neighbors at the industrial park where Tru -Grit is located and just go in for the belts I need for the knife I am making then and when the knife is made throw out the belts and see what I learned. Well anyhow Have fun everyone.
